There are exactly 300 balls used in 50 overs of a cricket match.
In a One Day International (ODI) cricket match, each team bats for a maximum of 50 overs. Each over consists of 6 legal deliveries or balls. Therefore, a 50-over innings involves 50 overs multiplied by 6 balls per over.
Here's a breakdown:
- Overs per innings: 50
- Balls per over: 6
- Total balls in 50 overs: 50 * 6 = 300
As stated in a reference, a 50-over innings equates to 300 legal deliveries.
Here's a table summarizing the calculation:
| Component | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Overs | 50 |
| Balls per Over | 6 |
